She Was Most Beautiful Still.

He sat and braided my hair while I leaned into him. He was always such a gentleman. He was the type that lifted me up when I was down, he caught me when I fell. He looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. His fingers brushed my pale cheeks and he pressed his lips against mine, smiling like always. I fell into his chest and he held me so tight. I thought I was safe with him ...

Love Hurts

Never thought you will be in danger around me, to know I had you and to know after this I might not is killing me. While I break down this door from your house to get to you all these thoughts run through my head how we fucked, how spoke to how we fought and make up. Yea, you had a amazing dick but you cheated so now I gotta kill you. You see I makes jokes about this but all my ex’s knew I will ki...

The Nymph

Prop me up on the slab.

You’re such a doll!

Open me up, you’ll see how you stopped my heart right in its tracks.


One look at you

And I am as delusional as Cotard.


You saw right through me—

Starting with the arms that reach out to hold you.

Then the legs that run to you when loneliness becomes a load too heavy to carry.


All that remains of me is a stump.

Young lovers rush to carve their initials...

Love Is What You Call It

I met her beneath a sky swollen with thunderclouds, her dress clinging like fog to the curve of her form. She smiled at me as though she'd known me in some distant life perhaps she had. Our laughter echoed down alleys slick with rain, our fingers laced like vines, tightening, tightening.

She smelled of old roses and something fainter… iron, perhaps.

I loved her. Oh, how I loved her. With a fever, ...

Date

Oh, God. Why is he still staring at me like that?


How long has he been staring at me…


His hands are freezing cold. Why won’t he just let go.


I feel sick. I can’t look into his eyes. I feel like if I do, those ice blue eyes will pierce my soul.


That damn, white, crooked smile.


My hands are shaking in his. I’m sweating.


The lights are beginning to blur. He’s still talking. Asking me questions...

Romantic Killer.

I’m trapped.im trapped in my own mind, people say love is the cure to life’s problems but it makes me want to rip my organs out makes me want to disappear and never return to reality. Love is pain....

Pink Tinted

She was so pretty. Nick wasn’t sure as to why he hadn’t done this sooner. He continued chewing his gum, the mint flavor being the only thing keeping him from staring, he sat across from Cathy. Her wrists were tied and she laid on the ground; passed out. Nick’s heart thumped in his chest and excitement bubbled in his fingertips as he remembered. He had been stalking her for a while. Though, today w...

gothic romance

She is my beloved, resting her head on the chair by the fireplace, warming her body. She always complained about being cold. I grasp her delicate hand, offering a comforting squeeze before sweeping her from the chair into my arms. Her head falls softly on my shoulder. My eyes meet hers, the icy hue enchanting me. She never breaks eye contact, a show of her unyielding confidence.

"Even the wolves c...

Slow Dancing in the Kitchen

Oh, how lovely you are tonight my dear. Nights like these — you know, the ones filled with your calming aroma and comforting silence, remind me why I cherish you so. For the longest time I wanted to be the cherished one but I've found that spoiling you and engulfing you satiates a part of me that I have never known. I never knew it was possible, to love someone so entirely, all parts of them. You ...

Love

There's nowhere to hide. Every corner. Hole, crack, nook, cranny; compromised. Expansive and unavoidable. Universal to both predator and prey, the living, the dead, and those who tow the line. It is unassailable. A force that expands, contracts, chokes, and consumes. Gasping, some flee from it. Sighing, others allow it to ensnare them. Every second that passes, it becomes more and more apparent th...
